Temporary work or direct hiring: which one fits your operation

The difference between the two comes down to a single question: who is the employer. In temporary work it is the agency, and the company pays for a service. In direct hiring the person joins the company's own staff, with everything that brings in contract, costs and responsibility. Everything else that usually gets discussed about cost and flexibility follows from this.

Temporary work solves needs with an end in sight. A seasonal peak, an urgent replacement, a project with a deadline. The company carries no employment costs and can match the team to the real volume of work, which is what makes sense when that volume changes from month to month. What it does not solve is a structural shortage: an operation that needs the same fifteen people all year round is paying for flexibility it never uses.

Direct hiring is for the opposite, and it is our speciality. Permanent positions, people you want to keep, roles where turnover costs more than recruitment does. When the candidate comes from abroad, it all comes in the same package: selection and testing in the home country, visas and AIMA resolved before arrival, and the person starts already as an employee of the company.

In practice, the question that separates the two is this: a year from now, does this role still exist? If the answer is yes, hiring directly works out cheaper even if it looks like more work at the start. If it is no, or if nobody knows, temporary work exists precisely for that.

Some operations use both at once, and it is not indecision. A warehouse with a fixed team and three months of peak season at the end of the year has two different needs, and there is no advantage in treating them as one.
